Anxiety - Mixed Media Original

This piece is one of the 8 pieces The Art of Feeling is centered on. Each piece a self portrait representing a core emotion and how I feel it, paired with a poem: 

How Anxiety Feels

And wouldn’t you know, anxiety too
Follows fear as a dear friend
Caring so deeply about my future
That my mind turns what seems like a million directions at once
Twisting into knots
But with more thoughts
Impossible to make sense of

My heart pounding 
So loud my thoughts are shrouded 
By a drum of what’s not done
Tangled in a web 
Of worries and pain 
Solutions and ways 

The tales twist 
Thinking over 
Immensely heavy 
On my heart 
And my intellect 

And the rest of me
Melting into a sea
Of deplete
Wondering where to begin 
Or if I should just sleep

And there I lay 
Alone in my brain 
Future attacking today 
My present vanishing
Into tonight
Tomorrow
Forever 

I am my thoughts. I’m in my head. I feel anxiety.
